Surveys: Panorama
Panorama Student Survey – Grades 9-12
By measuring student perceptions, the Panorama Student Survey gathers feedback from high school students about their classroom experiences. CVSD uses these surveys to measure how supported the student feels, the positive feelings they have, if they have a growth mindset, if they believe in their abilities to self-advocate, how they regulate their feelings, their sense of belonging and their academic needs. The survey asks questions that provide information on school climate, school satisfaction, and social and emotional learning.
Areas of Survey Focus
The Panorama Survey focuses on 10 indicators for student success in school:
1. Grit:
How well students are able to persist in the face of setbacks. The survey asks questions about how well students continue to work on challenging tasks. For example, questions include how they set goals, how they can stay focused on a goal and what they do if they fail.

The student’s belief in their own potential to be able to learn and grow. For example, questions center on beliefs in their own talents, the level of their own intelligence and how much effort they put forth.
